Conger Meat Market

Jul 28, 2025

I've been using this theme for over 2 years now for our webshop and am pretty pleased with it overall! I would however love to have the ability to show size and colour meta info under each product on collection pages so I don't have to write all info in the product name. Also a bit annoying that all body text is slightly transparent which makes it more difficult to read.

I really like this theme, however it would be great if in the next update you could implement the option of having more than one variant picture for each variant of a product! :)

I have loved this theme since I first started using it. It's smooth and it works great for my author website, allowing readers to buy direct from me. I enjoy having multiple color schemes, and I haven't had any issues with it. My only request is the ability to have all available products shown on one page. It increased in the 14.0 update, so I'm hoping this feature will come soon.

The "opening soon" email signup on the password-protected page does not work. I have contacted support 5 times in the last 5 days and nobody appears capable of fixing this very simple problem. UPDATE: the form finally started working after I cleared my cache. But I think the engineers changed something because the form hadn't worked on a 2nd laptop or my phone either. More to say but out of spa …
